I always wondered how they frag bubble corals seems tougher.

I would be interested in a frag of the blasto's! will be in the QC area in week or two, can put me down for two frags!

Well, To frag it I used a 4" grinder with a cut off wheel around a month ago to cut the mother colony in half. To actually cut it down to smaller sizes I used a dremel with a diamond wheel. The diamond wheels for dremels are around an inch acrossed and can make very percise cuts.
I'd highly recomend anyone that wants to frag stoneycorals use one. I'd also recomend using some latex gloves and a full face sheild. Some corals are toxic. Some are so toxic they are deadly. Most corals there is nothing to worry about but being safe is always the best option.

Hey I'm glad you liked it and that it is doing well. Hopefully it'll grow well and fast.
If you want you can have my tomato clown if you can catch him. I woke up at 3am to see him taking my orange cap into his little home. He also had 3 zoa frags in there and buried my GSP again with sand. If I can not catch it today I'm gonna Ahab him with a harpoon.

Fishboy93 nice zoos. Whats in the nets though.

Osiris, if you make it to this area bring the AC110 down. Could you make one of them into an overflow for a sump? Look forward to the call.
Hmmm... a tazer. I wonder if it hurt the corals. I have a magger for checking motors that would work.
